"These are all children under five", said Chas DeBolt, a senior epidemiologist for vaccine-preventable disease at the Department of Health. "We'll continue to investigate and share information when we have it". It's also known as 'AFM'. "Less than one in a million people in the United States get AFM each year", the CDC says.

"They may have a little bit of a facial droop similar to what we see with a bell's palsy because those muscles are affected".

However, a person can catch a virus from someone that leads to AFM. The illnesses are described as having "polio-like symptoms". Dr. Meade said sometimes people recover from the paralysis, but others don't recover even after several years.

There have been 38 confirmed cases in 16 states so far.

"The CDC has acknowledged that 362 cases of AFM have been reported since 2014, indicating an increasing infection rate", Klobuchar wrote in the letter. Three cases were reported in 2017, and one other case was reported in Washington since the beginning of 2018.
